As the first X Factor Live Show kicked off the other night, the judges made their entrance – and what an entrance it was! Paula went all out to impress in the fashion stakes strutting on stage in next season’s must haves and last seen by me at all the autumn/winter fashion shows. From Hermes and Prada, to Hussein Chalayan and Stella McCartney, thigh-high boots were the look on the catwalks! Paula obviously loves this trend as you may remember her recently wearing a pair of skin-tight suede ones from Alexander McQueen on the Jimmy Kimmel show? This time she caused a stir braving a pair of black PVC thigh-high boots that Antonio Berardi made popular. These boots are not for wearing if you want to blend into the background and on the first live show Paula made sure the attention was on her. Now the question is what to team with them? Paula looked fabulous in a strappy silver and nude ‘warrior’ embellished mini dress in the style of Collette Dinnigan, Mandalay, Balmain & Kaufmanfranco. She styled her dress with matching statement diamond earrings, and a large statement diamond ring. Her dazzling look was finished with light smoky eye makeup, a long wavy hair style, and a glossy nude lip shade. Are you a fan of this look? Let me know your thoughts and what you think Paula will choose to wear next!

She looks HOT in those boots – OMG I wonder what Simon thought?!
Paula’s legs look so long in these! But the heels are so high she’s tiny. I love the dress too, she looks way better than Nicole x
Haha she really likes these long boots at the moment or somebody by her does! Paula’s styl;e has just got so much better and I’m so pleased that this blog started. Can’t wait to see what she wears next tonight.
I’ve been in love with these thigh high boots ever since I first watched Devil Wears Prada and Anne Hathaway had a pair on. And I must say Paula does the look justice. It’s quite flashy and I like it a lot.
Paula Abdu = fiercest bitch on earth.
Loving all your comments! X
